Introduction
to the Hong Kong Basic Law

By Danny Gittings

Read the
Main Introductory Text to One Country, Two Systems in Hong Kong

“Many of
us approach law books with trepidation. But Gittings, a legal academic, used to
be a journalist and this shows in his ability to make the book accessible to
the general reader. Amid the often technical legal arguments about the Basic
Law it is easy to forget what a good story lies behind it.” (Book review
in South
China Morning Post, 1 December 2013)

“Reads
more easily than a typical text; students, practitioners or layman readers
interested in the “one country, two systems” regime can pick it up
over a morning coffee, rather than feel compelled to first assemble pens,
highlighters and a note pad before opening these pages.” (Book Review in Hong
Kong Lawyer, October 2013)

“Knows how
to use simple and easily understandable language to explain complex
issues” (Book review in Ming
Pao, 22 July 2013).
